Radiesse is a calcium based product that can be used to fill in the nasal labial folds around the mouth and can add volume to the upper cheeks to simulate cheek bones.

Radiesse generally lasts one year and it cannot be reversed. Risks are rare and include: unsatisfactory result, bruising, infection. Radiesse is sold by the syringe and comes in 2 sizes, 0.5 ml and 1.5 ml. Costs vary, depending on the locale. For the 1.5 ml size the range would be $500 - $800. Most people need 1-3 syringes to treat nasolabial folds and tear troughs

Radiesse is a dermal filler used to restore volume to hollow areas and
sagging cheeks. It is a calcium based product in a water-based gel that
naturally occurs in our bones and teeth. It has the advantage of
stimulating our own collagen growth and may last a year or longer. Like all
dermal fillers, there are risks of bruising, swelling and infection.
Discomfort is minimized with topical or injectable anesthesia.

Radiesse lasts about a year and runs around 600-700 dollars per syringe. It is used for revolumizing the face and rebuilding cheek contours, filling hollows and bringing the face into a more youthful light. The average procedure uses 1- syringes but I have used as many as 4 for an injectable thread lift. There is minimal bruising and swelling an although allergic reactions are possible they are very rare.

Healthy young skin contains collagen that gives it volume, flexibility and strength. As part of the aging process, your own natural collagen breaks down, diminishing facial volume. This loss of elasticity and volume results in the wrinkles, facial lines and skin laxity that rob your skin of its youthful appearance. The ideal way to achieve wrinkle reduction is by
replenishing lost volume. With RADIESSE wrinkle filler, you welcome back your own natural collagen to smooth out the signs of aging. That's because RADIESSE wrinkle filler's unique formulation stimulates collagenesis - the production of new collagen - which results in increased volume for natural looking wrinkle correction that may last a year or more in many patients. It's also why more and more cosmetic surgeons, estheticians, and other
medical professionals are choosing RADIESSE wrinkle filler for long-lasting facial rejuvenation.

The RADIESSE wrinkle filler difference: In just one syringe, many patients can achieve long-lasting youthful results. And now you can ask your doctor about the RADIESSE treatment option that significantly improves comfort. Because treatment with RADIESSE wrinkle filler is simple, quick, comfortable and convenient, with immediately visible results that last, more and more people are discovering that it is the natural choice for maintaining a more youthful appearance. Costs vary you will have to contact a local office.

Cost varies considerably from place to place. I charge only $425 per syringe. You will find some places charging $600 to $800 per syringe. The product lasts for a year or more, but it does gradually get reabsorbed so that many people are looking for a touch up at 8 months (this is true of most fillers). Radiesse does stimulate some collagen to be deposited in the regions where it is placed, which differentiates it from some other fillers such as juvederm and restylane which do not do this.

Be sure to go to an experienced injector and have them show you before and after photos of clients they have injected, not just stock photos from the filler company!!
